Based on my experience from Skyrim, I never install mods of any kind until all of the DLC and updates are finished. Its good to see I wasn't too irrational in that descision.

Eh as long as you're even slightly competent the benefits at this stage far, far outweigh the negatives.

GamingHyena posted:Same here. Playing on a console makes it even more frustrating as I already had to abandon a game because it would crash every time I went to Red Rocket for some reason. I guess I'll just start a new clean game with just the survival options mod so I can save right before you exit vault 111. At least then if I have to start a new character I don't have to run through the into again and again. Why would a mod be needed for that? You can start on any difficulty and then switch to survival when you exit the vault.

It actually looks pretty cool in motion when items just start dropping in. Wait a drat second here, is that the PS4 controller used on the PC version of FO4? I might actually use that if so!

Hi I picked this up in the sale and I need to build some kind of radio beacon and power it. I'm stuck on the part where I have to wire them up. I build the beacon and a generator, or at least it took my junk and now it shows 3 power at the top, but I cannot loving find either of them in this alley. Since I need to do that to wire them up I'm basically poo poo out of luck? I have absolutely zero loving interest in the base building garbage and just want this done, is there something I'm missing here or is this a glitch or what? It's kinda pissing me off that they are forcing me to do this garbage, I thought I could leave it behind in Sanctuary.

Go into workshop mode, cycle over to the genny or beacon, and if you see a small "1" underneath their icons, then that tells you it is in storage. Click to drop them (close to each other) and then run wire from one to the other.

I don't see a 1 under this thing and you can see that the generator is giving power from somewhere. Is there more to this settlement area then just the part between the two doors that were locked? The green boundary field suggest there is not.

Chard posted:That's got to be it, I'll give it a try. Thanks! Is this Hangman's Alley? Look up and check you didn't accidentally create the generator on top of the awnings or fire stairs or the roof of that little shack. Another possibility is that you created the generator inside the building walls in which case you'll just need to create another one. The reason I'm saying this is because I've come across a similar bug where the game spawns attacking mobs inside the buildings when Hangman's Alley is under the attack. They can't get out of the building and I can't target them. It eventually ends in "failure to defend the settlement".

What perks effect melee bash? If I pistol whip a low level feral ghoul across the face it does perhaps 5%. Spending 5 perk points to double that seems pointless.

The barks can be altered by the identity of the character you're talking to or any chems you're on. On PC you use the arrow keys for the variant skips, I believe?

Zephyrine posted:What perks effect melee bash? The only reason to take Basher is if you are using a Shredding Minigun. Double damage on Shredding Minigun turns you into an unstoppable black hole of death. Also you get constant critical hits (from the Basher perk) since it spins so fast, not that it really matters since stuff gets stun-locked and killed in seconds anyway.

I think it must be in the walls, I can hear what sounds like a generator if I stand at the bench. I stripped every single other object out of there too. In a way it's good to know it's a known glitchy area, I get nervous with save files in these games. sector_corrector posted:Alternately, go out and do quests and scavenge. Six copper is practically nothing, and it's more fun to actually play the game instead of beating your head against the terrible workshop UI. No doubt, I can find that anywhere. I probably have a small mountain of copper in my other workshop, I don't carry much weight around since my weak and noodly guy either snipes from a mile away or talks people into giving their guns over.

What's the point of no return for each faction? I've gotten the impression before that each faction ends up having a quest where you attack another faction, so presumably if I want to side with the railroad I can help the Brotherhood for as long as I want until a quest comes up to kill someone in the railroad or whatever.

So I just had this quest to get information from a man name Cedric or some such in goodneighbor. The quest had 2 paths A: charisma check to get the information B: pay 500 caps to get the information I failed the charisma check so I had to pay him. After paying him, he turns into a settler. So I could open trade with him and take 506 caps. Normally I would consider that an exploit. But the quest is so oversimplified that I'll consider it my due. Had it been Oblivion or even New Vegas the quest would have looked like this: A: Speech check (very hard) B: Pay caps C: Sneak into his hotel room and steal the information -Pickpocket key to hotel room door (medium) -Lockpick door (medium) -Speech check hotel clerk for the key (easy) -bribe hotel clerk for the key (~50 caps) -pickpocket hotel clerk for the key (easy) D: Pickpocket the information (very hard) E: Assassinate him somewhere out of sight and collect the information F: speech check a thug to kill him in a bar brawl and then collect the information from his corpse G: poison his drink and then steal the information from his corpse. Edit: The hotel room is fictional. He has no day/night routine. He just sits on a chair 24 hours a day

Okay! Plot flow spoilers. Generally speaking regarding Brotherhood/Institute, you have mutually exclusive missions at the Mass Fusion building and the game warns you ahead of time that committing to that mission makes the other faction hostile. Both the Brotherhood and the Institute want the "Beryllium Agitator" at Mass Fusion to power their nuclear reactor or Liberty Prime. At this point in the game, the Railroad's mission is to keep you non-hostile to the Institute so you can help the synths break out from within. Immediately after doing Mass Fusion for the Institute and powering up the reactor, you go to a board meeting and then are notified afterwards by a synth that the rebel synth has a message for you. If you go to the rebel synth, he warns you of a Brotherhood attack on the Railroad HQ. If you don't go through with that warning and just go to meet Father he puts you on a mission to kill the Railroad yourself. Over in the Brotherhood side of things, alienating the Institute fails your Railroad ending but unlocks the Minuteman ending since those guys just improvise a way to get into the Institute. Elder Maxton puts you on a quest called Blind Betrayal where he finds out Danse is a synth (not working for the Institute, just a Railroad transplant that got a memory job) and wants you to find him and kill him. Right after Blind Betrayal resolves, Maxton wants you to kill the Railroad for him, and from there it's the final assault on CIT Headquarters with Liberty Prime. The Minuteman ending can be pursued any moment you become openly hostile with the Institute, which can be started by telling Father to gently caress off the moment you first meet him (or shooting him, or shooting any named Institute member). Or after the mission The Battle of Bunker Hill, you can also tell Father to gently caress off again.

My completely unmodified steam copy base game has suddenly developed a loving irritating bug where all the audio cuts out for a second or two at random intervals of 5 seconds to a couple of minutes. At first I thought it was just the radio stations but it's actually all game audio. Ive validated files, I've reinstalled. I've both updated and rolled back graphics and audio drivers. Doesn't happen in any other games, doesn't happen idle at the main menu. I can't find reference to this as a bug anywhere else, is this something I'm missing in my searches or am I a special snowflake with a new and exciting problem to try and fix?

So I have to completely restart my computer and not load ANYTHING ELSE before I run the game. Then the problem stops. I've tried so many different ways to figure out what the gently caress was causing it and I still don't know. Used different speakers. Headphones. USB slot checks. Checked audio ports, all that. Even made sure my sound and graphics weren't bugging out. Meh.
